What are these holes for (Edelbrock intake) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all, I picked this up saturday for $120. It's an EPS 2701. Got so excited I got a good deal on it I forgot to ask what all the extra holes are for (the 3 around the thermostat location)

Are they all for different temperature sending unit locations??? If so, why so many?

Throw a heater hose nipple on one a plug in another and the temp sender in the other..

Whoops, forgot about the heater hose. Thanks

Which one would be better for the sending unit? The one on the right? What *would* the middle one been for...something on a newer motor?

Plug the middle one, thats the same intake I have on a 350 I have in storage.

Older I think. I you look at FrizzleFry's latest recovery thread, some of the pics show a crossover hose between the waterpump and intake at that location - on a stock intake. These would be in conjunction with the oil filler tube, I think.
